S. Hanessian et O. Rogel, Synthesis of a phostone glycomimetic of the endothelin converting enzyme inhibitor phosphoramidon, BIOORG MED, 9(16), 1999, pp. 2441-2446
The phostone analog of phosphoramidon, an inhibitor of endothelin convertin
g enzyme, was synthesized from L-rhamnose. Coupling of the cyclic phosphoni
c acid with the dipeptide H-Leu-Trp-OMe gave, after deprotection and purifi
cation by reverse-phase HPLC, the desired phostone which exhibited an IC50
of 5.05 +/- 2.7 mu M. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
